Formative and shared assessment (F&SA) implies a radical change in the way in which we understand the meaning and function of the assessment of university learning. In this sense, assessment is learning: it is not only about what the student learns but also about how the student learns. This means that any learning task involves making students aware of what and how they learn and how this learning can be used successfully in the future. Formative and Shared Assessment to Promote Global University Learning offers an updated and comprehensive review of F&SA in university teaching from an international perspective. In this regard, this publication provides an update of the concepts and approaches to F&SA and suggests a review of the methods, techniques, and instruments of F&SA as well as the conditions of validity and reliability to garner high quality. Covering topics such as feminist pedagogies, learning-oriented tasks, and student engagement, this premier reference source is an essential resource for educational administration, libraries, educators of K-12 and higher education, pre-service teachers, government officials, researchers, and academicians.

Assessment and feedback are central to the question of how teacher educators can enhance and transform teaching and learning. This edited volume details case studies and empirical research presenting alternative innovative designs for assessment and feedback across a range of programmes, mediums and jurisdictions. While the swift and unexpected digital pivot during the pandemic emphasised how teacher education adopted and facilitated online teaching, supervision and practice, there is now a need for increased attention to support alternative approaches. Innovating Assessment and Feedback Design in Teacher Education considers the perspectives and experiences of teachers, educators and students, while also exploring discipline-specific practices and outcomes, professional competencies as well as issues pertaining to quality, equity, inclusion, accountability, academic integrity and success. Carefully chosen international contributors provide cutting-edge research findings and discuss its practical implications covering the development, deployment and evaluation of classroom-based, hybrid and remote approaches. This book elaborates upon the transformative assessment and feedback approaches taken by teacher educators to inform the future landscape of teaching and learning in a digital age. Illustrating key developments in the field, examples of best practice, dialogues integrating the student perspective, worked examples and international perspectives, this key book is an invaluable resource for teacher educators striving to improve their practice.

In early childhood education, children find in their own body and movement the main way to get in touch with the reality that surrounds them and, therefore, acquire knowledge about the environment in which they grow and develop. Undoubtedly, the progressive discovery of the body itself as a source of feelings and sensations, as well as exploring the different possibilities of action and bodily functions, constitutes necessary experiences on which children's thinking is built. Furthermore, the affective relationships established in psychomotor education situations, and particularly through play, are essential for the emotional development of children. Physical Education Initiatives for Early Childhood Learners offers globalized educational practices, didactic approaches, and proposals for intervention around motor development in the children ages 0-6 years. The book specifically explores laterality, coordination, relaxation, rhythm, etc. and how these are achieved through games, music, and motor stories. This book is ideal for early childhood educators, physical education teachers, administrators, daycares, preschools, early childhood learning centers, researchers, academicians, and students interested in physical education’s role in early child development.
